Filed Oct 27, 2026 · Driver assistance, Transmission · IN

The 2026 Chevy Silverado 1500 Lt. Can jump modes on its own. When in 4 wheel drive rear wheels lock up. This has been causing poor gas mileage. The lane assist does not hold, it travels well outside of lanes. Cannot use.

The vehicle's power steering went out mid drive on the road after being driven about 2 miles. I was unable to turn the wheel. I attempted to restart the car at that point is when the engine would not start. The truck did not move in the middle of traffic. This is caused by some electrical problem. The dealer does not know what the issue is and they could not duplicate the issue. It is the second time it has happened to me.

Components: rear vision camera display, front camera module/lane keep assist, and the center infotainment/navigation screen. The vehicle is currently with the dealership. Failures: The rear camera image intermittently distorts into a severe fisheye view, so I cannot judge distance or what is behind the truck when backing. Lane keep assist intermittently will not activate. The center screen freezes, becomes unresponsive, makes phantom inputs, overheats, goes black, and reboots on its own, cutting off navigation while driving. Safety risk: A distorted backup camera creates a risk of striking pedestrians, children, or objects when reversing a full-size pickup. Losing lane keep assist removes a driver-assistance safety function. The screen shutting off during active navigation has caused me to lose directions while driving in unfamiliar areas, which is distracting and has led me to get lost. Dealer confirmation: Reported to [XXX] at Milton Chevrolet ([XXX]) the day after delivery at 30 miles. Repair Order #XXX(XXX) confirmed the lane assist failure and found DTCs U3000 and U0131 stored in the Front Camera Module. The dealer cleared the codes and moved a toll transponder; no part was replaced. The touchscreen issue was not duplicated during a 10-minute test. The camera and screen failures continued, and I recorded multiple videos of them. Manufacturer: GM reviewed my repurchase request under Case #XXX and denied it on XXX. The vehicle has not been inspected by GM, and the defects remain unrepaired. Warning signs: Symptoms began immediately after delivery on XXX. No specific warning lamp was observed; the lane assist button light failed to illuminate when pressed. Current mileage is approximately 1,200.

I purchased this vehicle brand new and have experienced a recurring issue when coming to a stop. The forward sensors activate indicating I am too close to an object (even though nothing is in front of the vehicle), and the engine stalls. Everything shuts off except the driver information screen, which displays the prompt "Shift to Neutral and Press Start Again." Following this prompt does nothing; I have to shift into park and press the ignition again to restart the vehicle. I have taken the truck to the dealership multiple times. After the first two visits yielded no solution, the maintenance team contacted Chevy engineering, and a hard reset was performed. However, today (8/24), a similar issue occurred. While at a complete stop with a full car length between my truck and the vehicle ahead, the sensor warnings activated. The engine did not stall as it had before, but the issue seemed entirely random.

While using the adaptive cruise on the highway the truck will rapidly slow down as is there is something in it path even though nothing is there. This has happened multiple times on the expressway now and I can no longer use adaptive cruise for fear of what it will try and do.

I suspect the automatic emergency braking suddenly activated while backing into my driveway. The truck abruptly stopped as if i crashed into something. The driveway was completely empty there was no reason for the vehicle to activate that system if that's even what happened. The dealer was no help i figuring out the issue they made no attempt to even try and diagnose it. I've since deactivated automatic emergency cross traffic braking and it has not happened since.

The forward collision warning is excessively sensitive to vehicles and pedestrians. I've had the alert go off recently for something so simple as pulling into a parking spot. It goes off frequently just driving past pedestrians and throughout what I consider to be normal driving where I am not coming close to a collision with a vehicle. It is very unsettling and startling when the alert goes off indicating that I am coming close to a collision with a vehicle or a pedestrian. I had a 2023 Silverado 1500 LT/2.7 Turbomax engine and it was not this sensitive. I fear that this may actually cause an accident at some point or if the emergency braking were to activate with another vehicle behind me.

While driving my truck returning from a camping trip I received the following warnings in the dash: Service ESC, Service traction control, forward collision system unavailable. Check engine light was flashing. I made the assumption that the Check engine light was due to the warnings listed above. I continued to drive the vehicle until I began to feel a very noticeable shudder at idle, at low speeds, and also loss of power at higher speeds. The truck has the 5.3 ecotec engine with DFM. After researching the symptoms, I found that these symptoms are identical to the know lifter problem with that engine. The truck is a 2026 Chevrolet Silverado Trail boss with approx. 3454 miles on it. It's currently at the dealership waiting for them to "diagnose" the problem. I was told that it may just be a "faulty sensor", but after reading other people's experience with this engine I believe that the real problem is a damaged lifter/lifter pin due to the poor design and engineering of the DFM system
